Ah youth. Peter knocked on our door at 8:00 to let us know that Santa had come–no, more accurately, to let us know that it was time for him to open his presents. I have to give him credit for letting us sleep past 8:00, I suppose.
When all the gifts were opened, actually, by the time we hit the halfway point, we could no longer see the carpet for all the wrapping paper. It helped that Emily was spreading her toys as widely as she could.
After that we went to Grandma’s house and spent time with the family on Mom’s side. It was good to see everyone, although I continue to be shocked by how much kids have grown. It was strange this year because we did not have to race back home for the Talent Show. I kept feeling like we needed to leave, but we didn’t.
Once back at Woodthrush Woods we had a potato bar and played some of Katherine’s games. The highlight of the evening came during a game of Cranium. It included a section that is loosely based on Charades and Rob drew the card “Supermodel.” He did a runway strut that would have made any designer proud.
So I guess we got a Talent Show after all.
congratulations Mary, you finally got the boy to participate in the talent show!
